    On march 25, 2009, i purchased a brand new 2008 honda accord. Over the past few months, i've noticed brake noise smells, which i was sure couldn't possible be coming from my car because it was too new. When i went for my 5000 mile service check, the technician told me the brakes were showing some sign of wear, but were ok for now. I planned on having them checked again during the next oil change. On 12/29/09 when…

    The back brakes of honda accord 2008 wear of so quickly that the consumer doesn't have the slightest idea about it. This premature wearout is causing unusual break distribution and almost meeting with accidents. They wear as soon as within the first 10,000 miles. I am talking of a brand new car with most highway driven miles. *tr

    Took my 2008 honda accord in for an oil change and was told that my rear brake pads needed to be replaced and that the disc/drums needed to be resurfaced. My car has only 17693 miles! I was shocked. I have been told that honda has a replacement part - 43022-ta0-a51and this is the one that was put in my car. Honda split the cost. If honda has a replacement part for the defective one, then they should pay for the…

    Premature wear of brake system. Original brakes lasted almost 10,000 miles, (feb 09). (dec 09)need new brakes again at a little less than 21,000. This certainly seems as a design flaw. Other vehicles i have owned, including a honda, had brakes replaced at around 30,000 miles.

    Rear brake pads prematurely worn out at 25,000 miles in 2008 honda accord and have to be replaced by the dealer. Upon inspection, both of the inner pads are totally worn out, whereas the outer pads are ok (within normal wear & tear). This problem, if not corrected in time, will lead to failure of the rear brake system and present a safety issue since most owners (myself included) would not expect it to fail that…

    Back brake pads failing on 2008 honda accord at very low mileage. I began to notice a vibration at 25,000 miles. When i had the vehicle checked by the dealer, i was notified that my back brakes had deteriorated to the point that it was not safe to drive. The rotors had been damaged. The front brakes were still in excellent shape. The back brakes should never wear out before the front brakes. It is generally two…

    Brakes on a 2008 accord coupe wore out in the rear much earlier than expected. I found them to need replacing at 21,400 miles. Brake pads were worn down and needed replaced. They are too small for the size and weight of this vehicle. This is a safety hazard that is being ignored by honda. *tr

    I had my rear brakes replaced on my 2008 honda accord at 34000 highway miles because they were worn beyond the sensor which i never heard. I never replaced the rear brakes on my last car even after 1400,00 miles and i read on line that this is a big problem on 2008 and 2009 hondas. Honda told me the rears wear faster than the fronts now and their mechanic said he often replaces them at 15,000 miles. *tr

    I had to replace my rear brake pads at just under 23,000 miles. They were worn extremely unevenly on the inside only. The outside pad was not worn at all. Now at just under 45,000 miles, they are in need of replacement again. Same problem -- worn on the inside only. The mechanic that i go to told me that he suspects that there is something wrong with the calipers. It is unusual to see absolutely no wear on the outer…

    My honda accord coupe (2008) rear brake pads wear out about every 15,000 miles as it starts to make the noise from the sensors. My car is approximately 32,000 miles, 1 1/2 years old, and have changed the rear brake pads twice in contrast to the front brake pads that have never been changed. I am the only driver of the car and usually drive on highways. I complained about this on the dealer as this is very unusual.…
